🔼 Fair Play. The LSU golf teams dominated the Louisiana Sports Writers Association awards, sweeping both Player of the Year honors. Ingrid Lindblad and Drew Doyle were named Players of the Year for their respective teams. Aine Donegan received the state’s Newcomer of the Year award and Latanna Stone was named to the All-Louisiana women’s team. Three of the men’s players received men’s first team honors — Drew Doyle, Garrett Barber, and Luke Haskew. 

🏌️‍♂️ Connor Gaunt qualified for the 2023 U.S. Amateur after finishing tied for first at the Desoto Golf Club in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. He scored 9-under 135 after 36 holes.

🔼 Golden Girl. LSU’s very own Bailey Herfurth received the 2023 Golden Glove award for her season with Tampa Bay United in the USL W League. The league is a pre-professional soccer league with the most elite collegiate and youth athletes. Bailey allowed one goal in 936 minutes of play during the regular season, and her team was the only one to allow just one goal. We can’t wait to see what she will do in her sophomore season in just 20 days!
